was intercalated in pitch-based carbon fibers (Thornel P-100 of Amoco) by either exposure to Br, or anodic oxidation (i.e., electrochemical intercaiation). The former method resulted in fibers that exhibited in-plane disorder at room temperature and in-plane melting at 271 K, whereas the latter method resulted in fibers that exhibited in-plane superlattice order at room temperature and in-plane melting at 373 K. Compared to fibers prepared by the former method, fibers prepared by the latter method exhibited more homogeneous intercalation, a more uniform chemical state of the intercalated bromine, a higher electron transfer from bromine to carbon, a lower bromine concentration, a lower electrical conductivity, enhanced oxidation resistance, and an increased activation energy for oxidation. Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite did not undergo electrochemical intercalation under the same conditions as the fibers.

When the bromine residue in graphite is heated and cooled between 20" and 900Β°C there is an emission of Brz over certain relatively small temperature ranges on both heating and cooling. It is shown that two of these emissions are associated with observed decreases in X-ray diffraction spacing betwee
## In situ reaction kinetics of bromine intercalation in carbon fibers have been followed by measuring changes in their electrical resistivity during an intercalation and de-intercalation cycle. The study suggests that for well-graphitized P-55(HTT 3000Β°C) and P-120 carbon fibers the reaction star
